The strangest thing. I just rebuilt the member server, did all the windows
updates, installed AVG software. Runs ok. As soon as I join it onto the
domain, when I reboot I cannot log into the domain, or locally. Get the same
message. How can a user policy that I applied to an OU that contains one
user, be applied to this server? I'm well stumped. I don't want to rebuild
both servers....

Any thoughts *GREATLY* appreciated...
